'Allo 'Allo

David Croft wrote many popular British sitcoms, and one of the most successful among them is "'Allo, 'Allo" (1982-1992) which he co-wrote with Jeremy Lloyd. The show revolves around the everydays of René Artois (played by Gorden Kaye), who runs a little café in France in World War II. René would just like to live his life, running his café and occasionally cheating his wife, but the situation makes it impossible, because either (or both) the Germans or the French want some services of him, exposing him to constant danger. Thus, rather unwillingly and in order to survive, René goes along getting from one farce to the other until the war is over. In the first video René describes his situation in his own words. The second is a funny scene where the Gestapo wants to search René's café for some stolen painting, but it turns out that he has more to hide and on top of all that his life depends on the actions of his senile mother-in-law with whom they don't really seem to like each other...
